Breathe through the hard parts…
I’ve been awake a total of two and a half hours, and I already know what kind of day it’s going to be. A struggle. I’m disorganized, indecisive, feel misplaced, and on edge. By on edge, I don’t mean irritable. I mean, like my insides are a ball of rubber bands popping one at a…

“Where’ve YOU been?”
Right here. Living life. With my brain going 90 mph on a million different things I should be writing, or could be writing, would be interesting to write about. It’s been a roller coaster of some “mental health” days, let me tell you! And until you experience it, you’ve no idea! And if you have…

My brain… My brain… My brain…
Mental health is no joke. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I suffer from some of this. I’m fortunate. I recognized. Continue to recognize it. And I’m medicated. Just the same.. It rears it’s head from time to time. Medication doesn’t mean it never flares up. It means the…

OUT with the OLD, IN with the NEW!!
I could absolutely strike a match to this past year! However, “though times make tough people.” Hurt, pain, sadness… all that comes because of love, joy, and happiness. It’s impossible to have one without the other. What does 2026 hold for Jennifer? Let’s start with “Writing.” Obviously, here we are again, right? I’ve recently been…

Words..
In todays world, people are constantly throwing words out there, when casually talking about mental health. I think the most common ones are the word “trigger” and the word “narcissist.” The word “trigger” is used way too loosely. And the word “narcissist” is just thrown around without any real digging into what the word or…

Growth. What is it?
Isn’t growth something we try to do everyday? Is it a mindset? Is it what we “think” we are doing, when something doesn’t work out the way we thought it should? For me, it’s all of the above. A lot of times, my growth is stunted. It’s stunted because I find myself in a rut,…

“Dear Younger Me..”
How would a conversation go with the younger version of me? What would I tell myself? What would I keep from myself? I would definitely tell myself to be more cautious with my heart, but not so cautious that I miss out on the joys of life and people. I would tell myself that I’m…

Roller Coasters!
I love a love a good coaster! My favorite are the ones with just the lap bar. When ya go up a steep hill and down another, that G-force hits and your butt comes out of the seat! Nothing quite like it. The coasters of life are much different though. Aren’t they? When we describe…

Depression/ Anxiety..
Originally, my Title… was gonna be “Tomorrow..” But today is a rough one. I attribute it to my circumstances, my exhaustion, my lack of wanting to go back to my ass of a job… and simply mental health shit. I’ve been labeled as bi polar, as I’ve mentioned previously, if you actually read all of…

Depression…
I’ve been diagnosed with Bi-polar. It’s no surprise, since my father is extremely bi-polar. I always find myself more on the manic side, however when something crashes in my life, and I experience grief, I get low. LOW, LOW! I don’t sleep well or I sleep all day with the help of sleeping meds, I…
